This Woman Hugs Baby Pandas… And Actually Gets Paid For It!

Well, the best job in the world became available in 2014, and somehow we missed it.

In a 2014 search spearheaded by the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Ya'an, Sichuan province, officials began looking for a person whose job was actually described as the following: "Spending 365 days with the pandas and sharing in their joys and sorrows."

In other words, one lucky Chinese person would be paid $32,000 per year to be the pandas' BFF.No word on who actually got the job, but one thing is for certain: They're probably enjoying the hell out of it.
